认知语言学认为转喻在本质上是一种概念现象,是一个概念实体(源域)为另一概念实体(目标域)提供心理通道的认知操作过程,在其运作过程中存在着一个概念实体的突显。本文通过分析和举例,说明了话题性和后续话语中的回指代词可以作为确定是源域内的源义概念突显还是目标域内的目标义概念突显的理据,指出代词回指的先行语就是概念突显所在。
According to Cognitive Linguistics, metonymy is a conceptual phenomenon, or a cognitive process in which one conceptual entity, the vehicle, provides mental access for another conceptual entity, and in this cognitive process there is an entity known as conceptual prominence. Through analysis and exemplification, the paper attempts to demonstrate that pronominal anaphora and topicality may shed light on the problem of identifying the locus of conceptual prominence. It holds that the antecedent of the pronominal anaphora is the locus of conceptual prominence.
